Best trip ever!
Best trip we have ever done. Punctual pick up. comfortable transport. Pompeii was very interesting, haunting and emotive. I was surprised how much was there to see. Not just rocks and boulders. Homes, lives, customs..... Our guide was so funny and gave just the right interesting information. It was very hot so water and shade is a must as there isn't any there. Our trip towards Vesuvius was timely and included a pizza snd soda stop. Vesuvius was incredible. There is a very steep uphill trek of about 1200metres and took about 40 minutes in blistering heat. again ensure you have sunscreen, hat and umbrella if possible. but once you get to the top the view takes your breath away.....

A great day out
On our short trip to Sorrento we booked a visit to Pompeii and Vesuvius… it was a great way of seeing both on the same day. With a car collection from and back to our hotel and a mini coach transfer between sites plus a stop off for pizza all went well. The Pompeii guide was informative and entertaining and we were well looked after. We were very happy with the experience thank you project Napoli service.

Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius
A long but well organised day from the point of pickup. Our guide around Pompeii was very knowledgeable and friendly.and was able to add humour in appropriate parts. Mt Vesuvius would not be for people with limited mobility, Worth the half hour steep walk to the top for the views
via Tripadvisor
An excellent day and well worth seeing
We had an excellent guide who explained so much. There is so much history and we enjoyed learning about a people and society from so long ago. The guide ensured that the group stayed together. The pick up and drop off was organised well and it was such a relief to know that this was looked after.

Brilliant visit to Pompeii and Vesuvius but tour organisation was abysmal
First the good bits - the tour of Pompeii was brilliant and we had a fantastic guide (Elisa), the trip to Vesuvius National Park was also good. However, the organisation of the excursion was appalling. I would have liked to have known the pickup time and location before 7.30pm the night before. I also sent a message via Viator and Whatsapp to find out the exact location of the pickup as large coaches could not get to our hotel and picked up on the main road. They ignored both messages. The coach was late and I had to phone them (at great cost probably?) to find out where the coach was. Enzo insisted it was outside the hotel which it was not. When you pay £170+ for an excursion, you want to know you are going to be picked up. Eventually it turned up 25 minutes late ... a message to say it was running late would have been nice. We waited in town for another 20 minutes for two "no shows". After the Pompeii tour, we were given 35 minutes to eat our lunch and given a choice between pasta or pizza but told the pizza would take 30 minutes to prepare! We were told to be ready for the coach for Vesuvius at 2.30pm so didn't even have time to use the toilets. However, they did not collect us till 2.40pm and then it was a LONG walk to the coach station. After the Vesuvius visit, we waited another 20 minutes in the hot coach for four people who were late ... if they are not there at the given time, just go without them! It's not fair for everybody who is back on time. As mentioned before, Pompeii and Vesuvius were well worth seeing but this company's organisation could have been much better. P.S. Two days after the trip they answered my message about the pickup location!!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Full-Day Tour from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Full-Day Tour from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Full-Day Tour from Sorrento take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Full-Day Tour from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Full-Day Tour from Sorrento?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Full-Day Tour from Sorrento suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Full-Day Tour from Sorrento?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sorrento can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Full-Day Tour from Sorrento start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Private Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Sorrento or Naples, Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sorrento?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sorrento?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
